In partnership with our friends at The World Anvil Publishing, we're proud to bring you Broken Tales and Dead Air: Seasons!
Broken Tales
Nominated for two ENNIEs in 2023 (Product of the Year and Best Adventure), finalist for Italian RPG of the Year 2023.
Once upon a time, a child saved the world of fairytales. His reward was a wish. The One who Plots in the Shadows saw an opportunity to tarnish the child's heart, whispering to him a corrupted idea. The child asked the King of Fairytales that the Villains, accursed for centuries, be granted a new life. This was to be their chance for redemption. This was how the Villains became good. But any light needs a shadow, and in turn, the Heroes became evil. At that moment, all fairytales were shattered.
Broken Tales is a tabletop RPG of dark stories, reinterpreting fairytales from an upside-down perspective. Players will become part of the Order, a secret group operating on behalf of the Papacy to investigate supernatural events beyond human comprehension. Moving through an 18th century Europe imbued with mysticism and horror, the main characters of Broken Tales are nothing less than the former antagonists of fairytales, thrown into a new world resulting from the wish of the Child Savior.
Dead Air: Seasons
✨Nominated as Best Setting at the ENNIEs Tabletop RPG Awards 2024✨
Humanity treads with vigilance upon a planet utterly transformed in the aftermath of the Days of the Blight, a catastrophic pandemic that instigated the downfall of civilization.
On the fringes of a reborn ecosystem, survivors endeavor to eke out a life amid a foreign, resurgent wilderness. They find themselves alien in their ancestral home, contending with the menaces of grotesque creatures and human hostility alike, all while haunted by the dread of sudden metamorphosis into vessels of the Blight.
Despite its harrowing toll on humankind, the Blight has paradoxically engendered a verdant renaissance: cities once teeming with people now succumb to the embrace of wild forests, rivers run clear, and seas burgeon with creatures. The Earth, in its newfound fecundity, bestows bountiful harvests upon the remnants of society. Yet, survivors grapple with the reality that this reborn Eden appears tailored not for them, but for emergent beings more aligned with the Blight’s insidious vitality.
Dead Air: Seasons transcends traditional TTRPG paradigms, crafting a rich tapestry of worldbuilding opportunities that encompass both Character Communities and their evolving habitats. An innovative Crisis system underscores the cycle of Seasons, reflecting the relentless progression of the Blight and the consequential transformation of the world by the Players’ collective narrative.
If you love works such as The Last of Us series, Station 11, The Road, Sweet Tooth, Children of Men, Annihilation, or The Girl With All the Gifts, Dead Air: Seasons is the game for you.
